@TfL Will do, thank you!

[Françoise Baillet @FIBaillet]

Hi @TfL. I have found this bunch of keys this morning on a Windrush line train to Highbury & Islington. Is there any way you could help me find their owner? Thank you.

"L’exposition rassemble des centaines d’œuvres du groupe des nabis, jeunes artistes aspirant à un art populaire. Gravures, couleurs vives, aplats, lithographies… le parcours retrace la vivacité de ce mouvement." @Telerama sur l'expo "Impressions nabies" : https://t.co/4T22sXXFQT

Another delightful discovery here at @HoughtonLib: one of the Punch's pocket books came with a volume containing original sketches by Leech, including a drawing of the 1853 opening page. Spot the differences!

[Françoise Baillet @FIBaillet]

The amazing finding of the day is that Harvard's @HoughtonLib holds no fewer than three collections of Punch's Pocket Book, plus many isolated volumes!
